Chapter 120 Madness and Chaos
The big-headed ghost, having been hit hard, became obedient.
Rong Yi continued, "Do you know the exact time of the large-scale invasion?"
Big-headed Ghost began to hesitate. Was it a physical entity or a soul? Wei Yanqing's control over it was not easy; he had to frequently suppress it.
Seeing that it was resisting, Wei Yanqing took out a few crystal cores and quickly absorbed them.
The big-headed ghost smelled the energy and struggled violently to turn around. "What's that smell? This is the first time I've ever felt this kind of energy!"
His greedy expression suggested he wanted to devour Wei Yanqing along with the crystal core.
Wei Yanqing frowned deeply. Rong Yi knew that he was not easy to control. He put away his gun, walked up to Big Head Ghost, clenched his fist, and delivered a heavy punch.
This punch sent the big-headed ghost tumbling to the side, and Rong Yi's fists rained down on its face.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me... I'll talk!"
From the moment he became a spirit and gained memories, Big Head Ghost, aside from the fear of facing higher-ranking ghosts, felt pain for the first time, and found it hard to endure.
Moreover, the punches from this living person have caused its soul to show signs of loosening; if it continues to be hit, it can be broken apart.
Rong Yi delivered a final punch, "Behave yourself, or I won't hesitate to kill you first. After all, the ghost realm has no shortage of ghosts like you."
The big-headed ghost covered his chin with his thin, thread-like hands. "I was wrong."
"I'll ask you one more time, do you know the exact time of the large-scale invasion?" Rong Yi said coldly, as if to say that if you didn't answer, you would only face death.
Under the blatant threat, the big-headed ghost dared not disobey. "It should have succeeded. I see the ghosts from the human world bringing up the offerings from His Majesty. Once the Ghost King has absorbed them, the barriers between the human world and the ghost realm will no longer have any effect."
One word flashed through Rong Yi's mind: So fast?
They thought they still had a chance, but they ended up taking the last bus.
"Should the human world and the ghost realm be interconnected, or should they be completely folded apart?" Wei Yanqing asked.
"It's a one-way passage; we can go to the human world, but there's no suitable passage for the living to come to the ghost realm."
The situation is even worse. If they were interconnected, we could try to launch a nuclear bomb, at least we would have made an effort. But how do we break through this one-way channel?
Rong Yi: "Do you know how long it takes for the Ghost King to absorb the offerings?"
Big-headed Ghost hurriedly shook his head, "Apart from the Ghost Generals, no ghost dares to approach Your Majesty at any other time outside of the Ghost Festival."
Every time the Ghost King is mentioned, Big Head Ghost feels even more terrified.
Wei Yanqing calmly turned on the live chat, set it to occupy the view area, hoping to get more information from it.
Rong Yi was unaware of what he had done and was still asking Big Head Ghost about the Ghost Realm.
[Absorbing offerings should be quick; I saw a livestream from a player still in the mortal realm, and the situation has changed.]
Are these two planning to go find the Ghost King? That thing has at least a fifth-tier strength and can steal wandering souls from other dimensions.
There's no time to look for them; they're not beings from the ghost realm, and they'll be automatically assigned to the instance world when the time comes.
[What a pity, I wanted to see them fight the Ghost King and see how horribly they died.]
The Ghost King would probably drool three feet if he saw Wei Yanqing.
He remained silent, pretending to be deep in thought. The audience was unaware of the player's actions regarding turning the bullet comments on or off; they relied on the player's reactions to determine whether they were watching the bullet comments.
Wei Yanqing turned off the bullet comments. This information was enough; everything else was nonsense.
The big-headed ghost suddenly went berserk, shouting, "It's open! Let me go!"
Its large eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, and it was drooling profusely, causing Rong Yi to frown and take a few steps back.
"What's wrong with it?" Rong Yi asked, pointing at the big-headed ghost.
Wei Yanqing's expression was solemn. "Because it smelled the fragrance of the human world."
Rong Yi was astonished, "So fast? We've only been here for less than half an hour."
Wei Yanqing tried to control the big-headed ghost again, but its thoughts were completely out of control, filled with images of living people in the human world.
Forget about controlling it, you can't even get it to lead the way properly. "Just kill it."
Upon hearing these words, Big Head Ghost's only remaining brain reacted, and he turned to try and bite Rong Yi.
Rong Yi crouched down to dodge, then braced himself with his hands on the ground and launched a high spinning kick, stunning Big Head Ghost with a ground-touching spinning kick.
She turned around, stood still, took out her gun, walked up to the big-headed ghost, and emptied the magazine by shooting it between his eyebrows.
Even a Tier 3 Ghost couldn't withstand so many bullets attacking its weak points, and it immediately met its end in the Northwest.
After dealing with the big-headed ghost, Rong Yi picked up the ghost crystal and put it away, then loaded the bullets into his pistol.
"Should we try to capture a ghost with higher-level strength? If it's like this, the other lesser ghosts can't be much better."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yanqing shook his head. "Kill them if you can. We don't have much time here. When the time comes, the Ghost Realm will automatically expel us."
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow; something about this sounded rather strange.
"How much time do we have left?" Rong Yi asked him.
“I don’t know, but there certainly aren’t many.” As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yanqing frowned deeply. “First and second-tier ghosts have come all around. They may have smelled our scent, or there may be a passage to the human world nearby. No wonder that third-tier ghost was so excited.”
Rong Yi immediately switched to a pistol, took out a rifle, and prepared for a big battle.
As swarms of ghosts appeared, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing were on high alert.
·
Although there are many low-level ghosts, they are weak and easy to kill, like stepping on ants, except for the cost of bullets.
However, the Ghost Realm truly lives up to its name, with too many ghosts appearing. At this rate, Rong Yi won't have enough bullets.
The previously silent gray text suddenly spoke: "Want to deal with these brats quickly?"
Rong Yi gritted his teeth and replied in his heart, "Isn't that obvious?"
Give me all the ghost crystals you've collected, and I'll help you temporarily unlock some of your power.
Rong Yi: "?"
Seeing that the horde of ghosts was about to overwhelm them, Wei Yanqing, despite his ability to control and kill in groups, knew that these abilities would consume energy and eventually exhaust him.
"Sure, you can absorb the subsequent kills directly, but only if there are no aftereffects."
If a single outburst makes it difficult to improve her strength in the future, she would rather risk exhaustion and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
With permission granted, the gray text automatically absorbed all the ghost crystals in its storage compartment. [Don't worry, nothing's wrong with you. Your problems won't benefit me. Unlocked. Go.]
Rong Yi suddenly felt light and a surge of power coursing through his body, and he felt an unprecedented sense of joy.
As her breathing became rapid and forceful, Wei Yanqing noticed the situation.
"you……"
This was the first time he had seen Rong Yi like this. Compared to the reddish edges of her pupils before, now there were faint red particles moving under her fair skin, as if she were transparent.
Rong Yi didn't look at him. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light, and wherever he passed, the ghosts vanished without a trace.
Wei Yanqing was unable to suppress the shock in his heart. What kind of talent was this...?
Not only was he puzzled, but the audience who saw this scene were also puzzled. Their show had brought together at least hundreds of billions of creatures, none of which had such talent.
The red light circled around and around, and the ghost horde decreased at a visible rate.
When the last ghost disappeared, Rong Yi stood still, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and felt the fullness of power.
Wei Yanqing didn't know how to describe her current state. Just standing there, without even looking over, made his hands tremble involuntarily.
He didn't even dare to unleash his healing power, fearing it would anger the other party.
Fortunately, after a few seconds, the red particles under Rong Yi's skin faded, and she collapsed from exhaustion.
